The Good Ole School Days Twelve years ago, we, the class of l954, groped our way into the halls of learning for our first time, and were introduced to the foun- tain of knowledge. Our mammas brought us to school the first day and introduced us to the teacher, who struggled for a whole year trying to teach us our ABC's. We also learned to count to ten. Two recesses and a noon hour were hardly enough time for us to play all the games we knewg a bell always rang and call- ed us back to learn less interesting material. The routine was generally the same ior six years. And we also learned how much fun homework can be. ln our seventh year, we learned responsi- bility: we were expected to be in the right class, in the right room, and at the right time. ln each class we met a new and different face. Two years later we became known to the seniors as green and gaudy freshmen. Being well liked, we were given plenty to eat - - green persimmons, alum, hot pepper, and all the olher hot spices. The seniors were great phil- osophers. They firmly believed that one should Spare not the rod and spoil the Child. All this was initialion. Our freshman class officers were Dale McCullough, Presidenty Bud Harris, Vice-Presidentp Kathleen Merrill, Secretary- Treasurerg and Freddie Kinkead, Sargeant-at- arms. Our class sponsors were Mrs. luliet Hershman and Mr. R. A. Eudaly. 'We enioy- ed a party in the gymnasium. Our sophomore class officers were Robert Sanders, Presidentg Loretta Evans, Vice-Presi- dent, Kathleen Merrill, Secretary-Treasurer, and Bud Harris, Sargeant-at-arms. Mrs. Doris Griffith replaced Mrs. Hershman as a sponsor of our class, so, Mr. R. A. Eudaly and Mrs. Doris Griffith were our sponsors the remaining three years. We had a hay-ride our sopho- more year. tttlllll x . Our junior class officers were Dale McCul- lough, President: Bud Harris, Vice-President, loan Arthur, Secretary-Treasurer: and Evan Reed, Sargeant-at-arms. As juniors, we began to think about and to start making money for our class trip. We sold concessions at the athletic events. Now we are sixty-two great and mighty seniors! -We elected Kathleen Merrill, as Presi- dent of our classy lean Henderson, Vice-Presi- dentg Donna Nicholson, Secretary-Treasurer: and Dorothy Stephenson, Sargeant-at-arms. We sold concessions at the ball games again this year to earn more money for our class trip. After twelve long years of struggles and hardships, we finally reached our goal. Now we are at the cross roads of life where many decisions for our future will be made. Some of us will become students in college, while others will be going into various voca- tions. - Kathleen Merrill. HT0 get ahead you must have one. Page Nine

The Seniors Convc-:ne Again The seniors are pictured as they assemble together to vote upon the current bills. The majority of the bills pro- posed are concerned with the senior pictures, invitations, concessions, class motto, class flower, class colors, and class trip. Our class sponsors, Mrs. Doris Griiiith and Mr. Pt. A. Eudaly, point out the facts and advise us in making our de- cisions wisely. In a similar class meeting, we voted upon our class motto, class colors, and class flower. Our motto is The door to success is labeled 'Push' 7 class flowers, red and white carnations: and class colors, red and white. An- other bill passed was that the girls wear white caps and gowns and red carnations, and the boys wear red caps and gowns and white carnations at our Commencement exercis- es. The senior meetings are important to us seniors in order to work out the means tor accomplishing the ends - gradu- ation, its activities, and our class trip. Since there are sixty-two of us, we must co-ordinate our ideas, and work harmoniously and co-operatively together tor a smooth-operating class government. - - Kathleen Merrill.
